A devastating tornado ripped through a couple of states yesterday killing 19 people. Mississippi and Louisiana, already reeling from coronavirus, were hit hard by dozens of tornadoes. Please take time to pray for the people of both states especially for the victims.
I just have a couple of things today:
Let's continue to pray that we will be able to open up our worship center by the first Sunday of May depending on local and national guidelines, the Lord willing. Opening will be on a gradual basis and will be by phases with all the precautionary measures in place. It may start with just a handful of worship team members and the pastor with a live-streaming service. Masks and a few feet distance from each other will be the norm. Agape lunches will take some time to be back (sorry!). I'll be in consultation with our ministry leaders. More details to follow.
Our Governor had mentioned yesterday that we may be seeing a bending of the curve as the number of deaths hit a 6-day low. But we should never let our guard down from hereon. Shelter-in-place and social distancing are working effectively. And of course the prayers of God's people are the most effective means of combating this scourge.
Let's continue to spread the good news and the risen Christ! More people have heard the Resurrection story than in previous years with so many pastors live-streaming their messages yesterday to a combined audience of probably in the millions. The enemy tried to put the Resurrection story on a lockdown but he failed and failed miserably! The gospel marches on and is transforming the lives of those who will commit to the Savior.
